Decision Support Systems (DSS) give support at all the phases of decision making process, so that both experts who participate in the decision process and managers who will use the solution obtained, will be able to use tools which automate each one of the phases that are carried out in DM.

Since one of the research lines in the group is focused on consensus processes, it is noteworthy the implementation of Consensus Support Systems, which automate the tasks carried out by the moderator in consensus processes and are integrated as an independent module in decision support systems, since not all decision making processes do necessarily imply a consensus process.
